Freezer Frost Heave Prevention

Avoid Damage by Frost Heave With Safe & Reliable Systems

Cold temperatures can seep through the floors of cold rooms and freezers, even if they are insulated. As the soil underneath freezes, capillary action draws water into the frozen areas where the water forms a concentrated ice mass. This growing ice mass can result in the freezer floor heaving, causing damage to the structure and putting valuable inventory at risk. nVent RAYCHEM frost heave prevention systems consist of an electric trace heating cable that is installed in the subfloor and prevents the soil under the structure from freezing.

Effective frost heave prevention is embedded in concrete, making it ideal to prevent heaving in soil under freezers, refrigerated warehouses, and cold rooms.
